Advantage of In house Public Relations staff are employed by the organization, they : Identify closely with the aims and objectives of the organization Have personal stake in the organizations success Do not need to refer or if they do, it is relatively easy because they have access Are close to the decision makers Can offer 24 hours service Can move freely around the organization Can inform internal networks with employees from across the organization Cost of space, admin back up, etc can be offset against a general overhead budget.

The range of internal communications media are : House Journals Notice Board Suggestion Boxes Radio External publication, a range of publications are produce for external audiences who has close interest toward company. External house journal ( supplier, customer, etc) Annual report and accounts ( shareholder, potential investor, financial journalist, investment analysis, distributors and suppliers, employee, etc) Other external publication ( corporate brochure, educational literature, etc) Photography in Public Relations Facts about Pictures Pictures communicate faster and more effectively than words. The old saying a picture saves a thousand words. Visual communication crosses most barriers of culture, race, religion, and language.

Appreciation of the situation Identify the cause of problem Organizing idea into common themes Solving problem by looking at what is going right

Problem Solving Step To understand the fact ( Where we are ) Appreciation is a very simple but powerful technique for extracting the maximum amount of information from a simple fact. Identify of the cause problem Check the all the possible causes of problem thoroughly and not just the one that are most obvious Organizing idea into common themes organize the information in a way that makes sense and helps you make decisions. Solving problem by looking at what is right One approach here is to focus on the things that aren't working, and think about how you can fix them. Approach is to shift to a positive perspective, look at the things that are working, and build on them. Decision Making Steps The techniques in this section help you to make the best decisions possible with the information you have available. With these tools you will be able to map out the likely consequences of decisions, work out the importance of individual factors, and choose the best course of action to take The Decision Making Steps : Selecting the most important changes to make Evaluating the relative importance of different options Making a selection when many factors must be taken into account Weighing the pros and cons of a decision Analyzing the pressures for and against change Looking at a decision from all points of view Understanding options better by brainstorming questions Making better group decisions Seeing whether a change is worth making Choosing between options by projecting likely outcomes Negotiation Everybody needs the skill of negotiation, we are all negotiator because we always have a contact with others and we always have to agreed on action Negotiation is a process that helps to get agreement between 2 people or organization

Four Outcomes to Any Negotiation Lose Lose Both side hold out for too much. Neither can reduce their demand Lose Win Our side loses, their side win.

The basic agreement has been fixed and now goes to more detail. Activate Both side should do exactly what they have agreed on. Presentation Public Relations and Marketing professionals share the same needs to be able to communicate to and with an audience. Sometimes one to one , sometimes in small group, sometimes to large meetings. Giving a talk or making presentation, you are using spoken language which is more elaborate in sound. However, we should not overlook the other 3 senses which is Touch

If you let the audience touch something, it will add interest and reinforce both your visual and oral contact. Taste and smell Some session allow actual tasting and smelling Visual aids You are the first and the most important visual aid. Your audience will see you before anything else, therefore your whole appearance and manner will carry an image. You should pay attention to the factors such as dress, personal factors ( neat and clean hair, etc) Voice, and habit ( typical nervous coughs, playing with your pen, etc ) Visual Aids To bring pictures into a presentation add variety, punch , interest, color. But they have to be used appropriately, and the methods must be matched to the occasion. The mechanical aids are : Vertical writing surface ( all boards- white board, chalk board and flip charts ) the function is to build up the details of presentation, summarize the key points, etc Projection OHP, Slide projector, Film Strip, Slide tape, Computer/Laptop Audio Microphones, Recording, Multi media Creating Presentation All presentation must be carefully prepared. Detailed planning and careful rehearsal will reduce stress, but never get rid of it entirely. These are the stages of planning an effective presentation : Objective Venue Structuring the presentation Planning the presentation Objective Objective must be set and confirmed, and should be able to answer the following question: What exactly do you intend to achieve ? In what time ? How will you measure the degree of success ? Venue Things to be consider : Audience Identified the audience. Who and how many? The level and grade Knowledge and expectation

Purpose : To persuade or to Inspire Facilities What is available in the room you will be using What is the resources are available such as technical support How many will the audience being seated ? Alternatives Where else might the presentation be ? If there is a change, will it be to a venue of equal standing ? Always visit venue wherever is possible a few days before. Get a feel for it and check the availability Timing How long are you asked to present for ? Can you cover the subject in time? Do you need to negotiate a change ? What is the overall programmed ?
